## Why getHistoricalIndexLightChart is rated Low

This tool retrieves and queries historical financial data without side effects. It cannot create, modify, delete, execute code, or commit financial transactions.

Even in a financial context, accessing historical data poses minimal risk compared to tools that could execute trades or modify records.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'getHistoricalIndexLightChart' and description 'Retrieve end-of-day historical prices' explicitly indicates data retrieval with no modification, deletion, or execution capability."
